The Royal Air Force officially credited Brown with shooting down Manfred von Richthofen, the “Red Baron” (who seems in fact to have been shot down by ground fire). What is less well known is that Brown never lost a pilot in his flight during combat, a rare distinction for an air unit commander of that war. This was due largely to his demands for a “breaking in” period in which new pilots flew over the fights just to see how they worked. A4 plain piece signed by Arthur Roy Brown, 209 RAF Squadron, he was the man who shot down German Ace The Red Baron during WWI.

From the Normandy landings of June 6, 1944 through to the end of the war in Europe, Bradley had command of all U.S. ground forces invading Germany from the west; he ultimately commanded forty-three divisions and 1.3 million men, the largest body of American soldiers ever to serve under a single U.S. field commander. After the war, Bradley headed the Veterans Administration and became Army Chief of Staff. In 1949, Bradley was appointed the first Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the following year oversaw the policy-making for the Korean War, before retiring from active service in 1953.

SGG055A £350 Mikhail Gorbachev was General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1985 until 1991, as well as the only President of the Soviet Union from 1990 until 1991. Gorbachev is probably best known for his pivotal role in bringing the Cold War to an end by engaging in trade relations with the USA, Germany and the UK. He was also responsible for bringing the Soviet Union to an end. In 1990 he received the Nobel Peace Prize in part for his domestic reforms granting greater freedom of speech. Mikhail Gorbachev signed 1993 USA 250th Anniversary of Thomas Jefferson’s Birth FDC
SGH145 £150 Hussein bin Talal was King of Jordan from 1952 until his death in 1999, aged 63. His long rule lasted through the Cold War and four decades of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Regarded for his peace-making, in 1994 he successfully negotiated the Israel-Jordan Treaty of Peace after great effort that dated back to 1963. The news of Hussein’s untimely death from cancer led to many world leaders expressing great sorrow, including Nelson Mandela who stated that Hussein would be “deeply mourned by all peace-loving people”. King Hussein of Jordan signed The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan cover
SGT043B £500 £50 per month for 10 months Mother Theresa was a Roman Catholic missionary known for her lifelong devotion to the poor and destitute. She was drawn to religion from a young age and by 12 had decided that she should commit herself to a religious life. Her work really began in 1950 when she received permission from the Catholic Church to start the diocesan congress that was to become her organisation the Missionaries of Charity. At its beginning, there were just thirteen sisters involved in the congregation, but today numbers are in excess of five-thousand. In 1979 she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and in 2003 she was beatified by the Catholic Church. Former U.N. Secretary-General Javier Pèrez de Cuèllar say of Mother Theresa “She is the United Nations. She is peace in the world.” Mother Teresa signed 1969 United Nations FDC with UN, New York CDS.
Nelson Mandela is perhaps the world’s most famous political figure. He spent his life determined to end apartheid in South Africa, and in his early years was sentenced for his activities and imprisoned for life. He was eventually released after twenty-seven years, and four years later became president of South Africa. Known for his down-to-earth manner, he always made his own bed, and talked to people of all ages, beliefs and political views as equals. He received the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize and is held with deep respect, bordering on reverence, in South Africa, where he is commonly referred to as “Tata” which means father. This is a very special signature on the perfect cover.

CL172 www.buckinghamcovers.com 41 THE WAR TIME GB STAMP ISSUES FROM THE NAZI OCCUPIED CHANNEL ISLANDS All of these stamps were issued ironically by the British Post Office as they still controlled the post under UPU regulations. I think the only occupied country not issuing swastika stamps. I have noticed prices creeping up and finding good ones more difficult to find, hand addressed and tatty ones easy, good ones hard. £180 for 11 values completing this fascinating period, I think this is very cheap and if you want a good investment gamble I recommend.

I looked at the available luxury albums and decided that the Safe 800 series was the best for our Buckingham Covers. The 14 ring mechanism is quality nickel-plated easy to use and only available from Safe. The album lies perfectly flat and you can remove pages or covers easily. It has two heavy-duty sheet lifters. The luxury binder is padded and the matching slip-case again looks quality as indeed it is. The leaves are the best available and your first day covers look superb. Yes, they sound expensive with only 11 leaves, but we are selling them well below the proper price so they are a bargain.
